Works for my mini split air conditioner as I hoped. Minor setup issues

This works to control my Daikin mini split air conditioner which I was unable to control with my Logitech Harmony. Here are some tips to make the setup easier: 1. Scanning the QR code to get the iPhone app didn't work. Just go to App Store and download "Smart Life”2. It is not clear where the "Reset" button is located. It's a tiny black button at the bottom, near the edge of the "cut out" part where the string goes. The instructions don't tell you where it is.3. When he first asks you to "set up the device," he means the device itself, not what you want to control. The instructions say you have to press "all" to find the device, but not "all". Instead, click "Other". Also, there is no "IR REMOTE" in the list, choose "Universal Remote" instead. Next, press and hold the reset button for a few seconds until it blinks, after which it should connect.4. I was impressed with how easy it was to hook up my air conditioner. All I had to do was select the manufacturer (Daikin) and then they want you to use the remote control that came with the AC unit and press a few buttons. From this it can tell you which model you have, so you don't even need to know the model number! After that it just works. I'll add my complaint to those who don't get AC temperature control in degrees. F, degrees only. OUT . And this despite the fact that the temperature units are set to F in the main settings of this device.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Hard to tell
